Rams High-Stepping Into Homecoming '07

Winston-Salem State will take on Delaware State in the annual Homecoming game at Bowman Gray Stadium at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3. The Homecoming parade will also take place on Saturday at approximately 10 a.m.

"The parade route will start on the corner of Fourth Street and Poplar and will end at the university on MLK and Cromartie," said Theo Howard, Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs. The city of Winston-Salem will team up with WSSU for this event.

In the Homecoming parade, there will be 130 groups, including some local and school organizations such as SGA, CAB, fraternities and sororities, WSSU and high-school cheerleaders and local churches. The city of Winston-Salem will also be able to enjoy the sounds of WSSU's "Red Sea of Sound" marching band, which has about 100 members.

Here are pictures of Winston-Salem State University homecoming moments alumni may remember.

Thirty floats will be on parade, and the crowd will see more than 100 groups walking from Fourth Street to campus. Clowns and local vendors will give away treats and other surprises to spectators.

"Three of the floats that will be represented will be that of the Grand Marshals, including the 1967 NCAA Division II basketball championship team featuring Earl the "Pearl" Monroe, and the 1977-78 CIAA football championship teams featuring Timmy Newsome and Kermit Blount," Howard said.
